Phone different Podcast 14 - Wait-a-Thon

We couldn't wait until our regularly scheduled podcast to talk about the iPhone Software Roadmap. Mike and I were also lucky to be joined by Phone different writers Chad Garrett and Rene Ritchie! Listen in as we chat up all the new announcements about the new Enterprise features and the SDK.

It's things like adopting Enterprise (and USB and Intel chips) that differentiate the Apple of today and the Apple of 20 years ago. Imagine where Sony would be today if they would stop with all their odd-ball formats:
Beta-Max
Memory Stick
UMD
Blu-Ray (well OK, maybe Blue-Ray panned out for them :) )

I thoroughly concur with both tschertz01 and gruswitz. I admit it's been a Palm world for me until now and I've been happily and uniquely satisfied. I further admit that I've been extremely reluctant to purchase an iPhone (for myself anyway -Yes, I purchased one for my SO on it's release date) until ANY progress was made on the 3rd party apps front. To be brutally honest, I've been steadfastly against the absolute control which Apple has lorded over it's almighty iPhone! Hordes, nay millions of unsuspecting iPhans were held back and set back at every possible customizable hack due to Job's control issues and I, for one, will be ecstatic to have him relinquish a bit of control in the near future. I've flirted with the notion (since that fatal purchase date) of playing around with an iPhone of my own. The big problem was, it simply didn't play well with others ... until now. Having a lengthy affair with an iPhone is something I will definitely consider after the upcoming 2.0 release party! Oh, it WILL be a party for iPhone lovers everywhere!
